"Any Man of Mine" is a Grammy Award-nominated song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was the second single released from her 1995 album The Woman in Me. The song was written by Mutt Lange and Twain. The song became Twain's first number one hit at country radio, as well her first crossover hit after it cracked the top 40 on the pop charts. It was released to radio in April of 1995, and topped the charts for two weeks in July. "Any Man of Mine" was released to European markets but due to its country sound, it didn't make much of an impact. The song was later included in Twain's 2004 Greatest Hits package. The song was also performed by Mandisa on the fifth season of American Idol, but she was eliminated from the show the day after her performance.[1]
